Fox Run

Michaela Redfur is a were fox living a quiet life in Bayfield, Wisconsin. She has a quiet job that gets her out of doors and avoids the werewolves as if her life depended on it. Which it does.

That all changes early one morning when Lara Burns, the Madison Wolves alpha, introduces herself, much to Michaela's chagrin. Lara explains to Michaela that "we only want to talk", but when a werewolf comes knocking on a tiny, delicate foxes' front door, Michaela knows talking is the last thing in the wolfy mind.

Fox Play continues the story first begun in Fox Run. This is a novel of 95,000 words.

Fox Mate

Michaela Redfur has been accepted into the wolf pack as their fox, and a wedding with Lara, the alpha, is in the planning. But being accepted into a close-knit clan is not simply a formality. There are rites of initiation and you know you are truly accepted when the dark and ugly is accepted along with the good.

The story represents Michaela's ransom rematch and, as such, contains some unpleasant experiences. If you didn't care for the ransom night in Fox Mate, you won't enjoy this short. This story contains some important tidbits, but it is okay to skip reading it.

Fox Revenge

This novel resumes immediately after the events in Jaguar but is best read after Omega Born and Omega Life.

Omega Born

But maybe trying to steal from her wasn't such a great idea.

Sidney Welch is a seer, her visions coming in her dreams. Even though she can't control it and can't usually explain it, Sidney knows that when she sees something, she can count on it to be real.

The new few encounters were just a little more surprising.

Pawn

I'm no one's pawn. Not with my skills. I may outwardly kneel in allegiance, but when I do, it is by my choice, and only my choice. In more private settings, well, in the words of my people, "She carries the spear from that hut."

It's never meant as a compliment.

No, I'm no one's pawn.

About the Games People Play series:

Several months ago, I decided I enjoyed writing about games. Anyone who reads my work knows this already. And I realized that there could easily be stories that centered around a simple question.

Do you want to play a game?

Do You Want To Play A Game

On a vacation to London, Brandy finds herself well outside her comfortable box. It begins when a woman named Precious invites her to play a game, and it just grows more intense from there.

This is a story about self-discovery. It is a story about joy. It is a story about climbing out of our comfortable boxes. You could, if you like, consider it one big metaphor.

Or if you like, take it at face value.

This is a novella of 20,000 words.

My Soul To Play

"If you want answers, you will play my game."

My Soul To Lose

This is a novel of 130,000 words and is the sequel to My Soul to Play.

Warning: The cover image is more than a hint. This is a dark novel.

This is a fantasy novel of 175,000 words.

Author's Notes:

Don't buy this book.

I'm serious. I didn't want to write this book, but it got stuck in my head, and I had to write it so I could think about other things. There's a longer explanation in the Author's Notes in the beginning of the book. But in short, Encircled has several key concepts that will offend some people.

Along the way, there's sex. A lot of sex. A lot of it is pretty kinky sex.

In fairness, one of my beta readers admitted that reading this story was, "A guilty pleasure, a very guilty pleasure." She also told me I was going to get a lot of heat if I publish it.

Delegation

Allium Cuprite is a road crew department head for the Flarvorian Ministry of Transportation. In the execution of her duties, she rises to the attention of the Flavorian King as well as the rather intimidating Duchess Olivia of Ressaline, Flarvor's neighbor to the north.

Not entirely willingly, Allium is drawn into politics and diplomacy as Lady Olivia hopes for improve relations between two countries.

Author's Note: I was looking for a guilty pleasure to read one evening. When I couldn't find something fun, I decided to write my own. If you liked Encircled, you will like The Delegation.

This is the second in the Ressaline series, and the first in Allium's story, to be continued in The Diplomat and then Princess, due in early 2019.

Diplomat

Allium Cuprite has returned to her duties as a department head for the Flarvorian Ministry of Transportation. She is leading a team to the northern portions of Flarvor, repairing roads and bridges, when she receives a notice from the king. "Return to Barrish. I wish to meet with you."

Mage Unmasked

Mia Pixie Cooke is homeless and having a particularly bad night, garnering far too much attention from law enforcement. The FBI stepping in doesn't help.

But she finds herself at Greenwood Academy for Girls, where she discovers there are more forces in the world than humans and mages.

This is an academy novel, inspired by reverse harem (RH), why choose novels. Without the five boyfriends. There might be a few girlfriends, though. And a werewolf or two. Maybe a lamia and a pair of witches.

There are some triggers. The author does not recommend starting the book right before bed, unless you can read through a few chapters. The last few chapters might be a little rough, too.

Luna Rising

After the wretched betrayal at Greenwood Academy, Mia loses her faith in others. She steals a car and runs from her new life. But Merida isn't going to give her up that easily.

The Boss

The bad news: Phoebe Baker has lost her job. The good news: it is the impetus for creating her own company. As Phoebe goes along on a journey of professional and personal discovery, she makes new, close friends, hires employees, and finds love in unexpected places.

'The Boss' is a very long romance of 200,000 words.

Author's note: This is not a cute little romance. Instead, we watch Phoebe over the years as she grows her business while sacrificing in other ways. A complicated and messy story filled with love and commitment and loss, it's the details and excitement of running a new business and a new life that make the journey worth exploring.

Blood Slave

Melissa Walsh has it all. She is a gifted artist with a good day job as a designer and at night, she creates beautiful, delicate paintings.

But one evening, Melissa makes a mistake, and in a world ruled by vampires, justice is swift and harsh.

This is a paranormal novel of 155,000 words.

This is not a light, happy novel. It does not quite reach the level of horror, but it is not that far off. If the bride ransom night from Fox Mate put you off, then you will not care for this novel at all.

Club Underhill

Club Underhill. Secret and mysterious.

Nicolassa. Beautiful and mysterious.

Just another client for my job at Scallion Accounting Services? Maybe not.

Fitting In

Nicole is a 33-year-old, introverted computer programmer dealing with her own difficulties. At a party hosted by her best friends, she meets Alexandra, slightly older, beautiful, and athletic in a way Nicole could never be.

Giant

My name is Gabriel Jordan, and have I had a wild ride.

I was happily doing my job at the college library when a giant of a woman walked in, asking for someone to serve as a research assistant, and then she turns to me. It wasn't at all my job; I spent most of my time at the library shelving books. But there was something about her, beyond having to duck to make it through the doors. There was instant chemistry I couldn't deny.

Author's Note: this was supposed to be a short story for a collection of horror stories I'm working on. Like so many ideas I think are shorts, there turned out to be more story than I expected, and the book didn't remain horror. But I kept the elements that originally made me feel it belonged in a collection of short horror stories.

Author's Note: this story has been kicking around my head for a long time. I first read about the main premise years ago. The concept of wirehead addicts is not new, and I believe the first time I read about it was in Ringworld by Larry Niven, originally published in 1970.

Science and engineering give us so many wonderful tools, but nearly any tool can be abused.

Team Building and More Team Building

These are, respectively, a novella and a novel.

This guilty pleasure read is a novella of 20,000 words. There is a followup novel called More Team Building, due in August, 2019.

I grew up on Gilligan’s Island episodes, and later (for the purposes of this little note), Charlie’s Angels (the original series with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Farrah Fawcett). I haven’t watched the reboot of the latter.

There was an episode of Gilligan’s Island in which the castaways are discovered by a group of people who have some interesting technology; they have rings that control the wearer into doing whatever they’re told. I was old enough to realize how silly an idea that was, but the basic idea still stuck with me.

Later, there was a Charlie’s Angels episode in which the subject of their investigation used hypnosis to commit murder. One of the angels is snared, but of course, it all works out in the end.

The concept of being able to control the minds of others is a recurring trope throughout fiction, with the methods coming in a wide, wide range of ways. Vampires, magic flowers, hypnosis, a variety of parasites, magic, drugs, technology: the methods are myriad.

Because of all this, I grew up fascinated by the supposed promises of hypnosis. I’ve experimented, wondering if it actually works. We’ve all seen videos of stage hypnotist shows. We’ve zoned out to things we find hypnotic. My personal experimentation suggests there’s a lot of hype, but it’s largely hype. Oh, I have no doubt that quit smoking hypnosis programs can help, but they aren’t a magic cure. Someone manages to quit smoking because they want to, and if the hypnosis helps them to focus on it, or to believe they have the strength, go for it.

I think there’s a lot of hype, but it’s just hype.

In spite of my clear skepticism, I continue to think about it. And anyone who has read my past work knows sometimes I let various forms of mind control creep into my work. Creep. Ha. That’s not the right word at all, is it?

But to me, I enjoy the fun stories, the guilty pleasure stories. I like stories where control is used for good, not evil. And I read one of those stories recently, and the next morning, I began work on this story.

So, I offer a bit of fluffy fun, another guilty pleasure. I think we all need those once in a while.

Please enjoy.
